Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3580960, member: 8423"] Well on to the Whinging Foghorns. This is a squad that should be right up there when the whips are cracking IF the key players are fit but it is also a squad that has massive money tied up a few players that stops them being able to get better across the board. As it stands, they are paying for Lodge's knee rehab. And any given season they start a million dollars behind everyone else because of TTurbo. The guy is the best player in the game when he is fit, hands down. The problem is, he is never fit and he is never out there and so there are real question marks on whether he is really worth the money he is being paid. They have taken a huge gamble on a second rower and are tied to him forever moving forward, this has the coach written all over it. DCE is an absolute champion but he can't do it all on his own and they are really lacking in X factor to match it with the top two (maybe three) teams. I also cannot believe how much Jurbo is paid, he isn't even in the same class as the top 10s or 13s, he's a tackle bot and don't get me started on Schuster, what a waste of money. I like the Brooks signing though, I think he will partner with DCE really well but one has to wonder what the wisdom in such a long signing with him is. One also wonders if any of it really matters when they have the handbrake that is the coach running the whole show. Here is how it looks for 2024: 1. T.Trbojevic (should just write Garrick here) 2. Garrick (Should just write Paulo here) 3. Koula 4. Talau 5. Saab 6. Brooks 7. Cherry-Evans 8. Paseka 9. Croker 10. J. Trbojevic 11. Olakau'atu 12. Bullemor 13. Aloiai 14. Chan Kum Tong 15. Sipley 16. Condon 17. Schuster That bench is rubbish and there isn't any way of re-arranging the deck chairs to make it better that I can see. If they can stay fit, normally I'd say they can challenge but unlikely with that coach and several of their key players are starting to get on, how many more good seasons does DCE have left, does he have any?
